Peg Orcutt, a resident of Madison, Wisc., painted a dismal, black-and-blue horizon entitled “The Sky Is Falling.” Orcutt is selling her portrait, which depicts her “dismay over the results of the 2016 presidential election and my concern for the future of the country” for $2,000.

A third painting shows a seemingly pregnant woman sexually penetrated with an oil pipeline, reported MacIver Institute.

In what college did the allow such artworks against Obama?

Never the same rules for both sides. A lot more suing of schools needed in the future.

“Hello. I am an artist. I have absolutely no artistic talent, but I do have a political opinion. Please come and buy my painting.”

White Privilege? Who makes up that s#$*?

If white privilege means ....

... you’ve lost job opportunities because you’re white.

... you lost job promotions/advancements in military or government jobs because you’re white.

... you’re chances of getting into some colleges is less because you’re white

... you’ve lost out on government contracts because you’re white

... it’s more difficult for you to get government aid /SBA loans, etc., because you’re white

... the goofy white male in most commercials now because you’re white

... lost opportunities in the media/sportscasting/etc. because it’s more politically correct to hire a black

...

I guess I understand what white privilege means now. And this isn’t knew. It’s been going on for 30+ years.

Also, the white clowns currently in college will understand it better in about 30 years. They will lose opportunities they’ve worked very hard for over the next 30 years because of their “white privilege.”

When are Republican legislators going to crack-down on public entities spending public funds to promote political causes?

When the “political class” extracts a ^20% privilege fee^ from their 401K.

The working middle class put President Trump in office.
And I believe his policies are already expanding the working middle class.

Now I am starting to think that the crazy leftists will help expand the pro-Trump middle class too.

People who work for a living cannot help but be negatively affected by the excessive anti-Trump craziness, street anarchy, and televised rants by ultra-left talking heads, celebrities and democrats.

Just in the last week we have seen crazy rants by DNC chair Tom Perez, toilet mouth Stephen Colbert, and celebrity millionaires like Cher and Jimmy Kimmel whining about their own healthcare situation as if they need a taxpayer subsidy to pay their doctors.

And of course the background of ongoing street riots, marches and attacks on police along with the usual snowflake craziness at colleges.

This can’t be winning the middle class (’normal people’) over to democrats.

The crazies all like it but they all are pro-democrat anyway.

Wow. It is actually a class. I thought it was a joke

https://african.wisc.edu/content/problem-whiteness

What training or life skills does a class like this provide? How to get a job with BLM or antifa?

Could you imagine a class called “The Problem with Blackness”?

“dismay over the results of the 2016 presidential election and my concern for the future of the country” for $2,000.”.....

Tells you how much she thinks of this country. That painting is probably not worth the materials used to create it and she thinks it's worth $2K? Another product of the UW Madison. Worthless!

More than one of these “artists” are closet conservatives looking to capitalize ($$$$’s) on stupid liberals with money.

They’re laughing on the way to the bank.

Planned Parenthood is a huge contributor to democratic politicians, but we only complain about the abortions, when we fund them yet again.


Truth is Stranger than Facts.
